4. Evelyn C.
“Evelyn was awesome! She took such care to spend time with my two dogs in my apartment while I was out of town for the night as one of them has really bad separation anxiety. She administered medication and took them for walks and they were calm. It gave me such peace of mind and I’ll be booking again! Thank you! 😊”


5. Mary A.
“Mary was beyond wonderful!! She did an extra meet n greet so the dogs could get be comfortable with her and her husband. They both took such great care of my babies, with plenty of cuddles and pets. She gave me updates every day, with photos and videos. She left the house completely spotless and smelling wonderful. She is definitely our new go to petsitter, and it’s such a relief to have someone we trust that we can contact. I can’t recommend her enough!”


6. Laura K.

“Laura is an amazing pet and house sitter! My pup can have some behaviors nand trouble meeting new people, but he immediately loved Laura and felt comfortable with her. My kitties too are very skiddish, but from photos they seemed to be comfortable with Laura’s presence. Not to mention, I came home to a clean house which enabled me to relax after a busy weekend away. Thank you so much and the fur babies cannot wait to see you again!”


7. Nicole D.

“We just booked Nicole to stay with our two labradors while we were out of state, and she did a wonderful job with them! She spent so much time with them, letting them to their usual puppy things like swimming in the pool, going for walks, and lounging. She sent photos and videos regularly, responded right away when messaged, and offered to drop in on the last day for potty break before we got home. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking to have their furry family cared for!”


8. Courtney M.


“So very happy we found Courtney! Our new rescue dog and very old cat both loved her and so do we. We had a wonderful meet and greet. Then she showed up on time and did everything we asked. Very comforting to know our fur family and home are in good hands. We look forward to having Courtney come again someday.”

12. Emily S.

“Emily was great. We got morning and night updates from her. By the pictures she sent and knowing my dogs I can tell they were comfortable with her and just living their best life. Communication was great and house was left just like we left it. She saved us from a last minute cancellation from another sitter and I will be booking again with her if needed.”

“Brittany was wonderful with our dog while we were away. She was extremely thoughtful and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and taken care of.”


15. Steffanie D.
About: I’ve cared for pets all my life. I’ve recently lost my own dog and have decided to wait for now and care for your family members. They will be treated like family with me! I’m looking forward to doing this full time so you can vacation or go to an emergency without worrying if your baby(ies) are going to be taken care of. I live in a gated community. I have a small open yard but the community has a dog park just a hop, skip and a jump away.


16. Elizabeth M.
“Great Dog sitter she is always on time and replies really fast. I book with her every time I need my puppy sat. I travel a lot so Liz helps a lot. Thank you!”


17. Leslie M.
“Leslie is a very gentle and loving person towards dogs. She prefers being with them over people most of the time. From their physical health to emotional needs Leslie is a great person to trust your furry family member with.”


18. Renee F.

“Renee was awesome! She took great care of Pepper and was quick to respond. She sent me pics and kept me updated while we were gone. :)”


19. Danielle G.
“Danielle is literally a human angel on Earth! We booked her for house sitting when we went away for a few days. She was timely and is extremely personable. My dogs have never been able to be left with anyone else (especially not in our house) so I was understandably nervous. Danielle sent pictures and videos the whole time, and 100% went the extra mile for my dogs! She even changed the sheets on the bed when we got back! My dogs were happy and healthy when we got back and were already looking for their new friend a few minutes after she went home. Danielle will definitely be making repeat appearances with our doggos!”
